Apple and blackberry Crumble Recipe:

This recipe combines the tart flavours of berries with the sweetness of apples. Topped off with fresh dairy cream, this dessert is sure to please the ravenous hordes.

Fruit crumbles have been cooked in England and America under the guise of ‘crumbles’, ‘cobblers’, ‘crisps’, ‘pandowdys’, ‘Brown Bettys’ and ‘buckles’ for many years. Although varying slightly, all seem to combine a deep-dish preparation of seasonal fruit topped with buttered or toasted crumbs of oats, flour, biscuits or breakfast cereals. apple and blackberry crumble recipe

Some sources state that the fruit crumble originated during World War 2 in England, when the ingredients for a complete pie crust were found to be too expensive, although American food writers claim their version, the ‘crisp’, developed as early as the 1920s.

I for one, feel I have little physically in common with my dog (a KBT). I’m sure you would agree this premise does not have enough documentation! Certainly I did not choose Maggie because she would resemble me! People own dogs for different reasons and in an earlier article I dealt with choosing your pet based on exercise time, training time, home alone time, grooming time, and physical attributes.

Check How dogs and their Owner’s Personalities are Similar where significant research is posted on the similarities among owners of same breeds as compared to other dog breed owners.
